T 0 all whom it may concern "Be it known that I, ALEXANDER Wruuou, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lakewood, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in luternal-Combusr tion Motors, of which the following is a specification v A 'This lllVGIltlGll relates gen'erclly to internalnombustion motors and particularly to mechanism for supplying an independent eharge ofiair to; each :fuel feeding device.

' More dpohiiigfally the invention relates to an iniernal., combustion motor comprising a plurality of oylinders, an independent fuel feeding device jot, each eylinder, means for supplying an independent charge of eirflior I Specification of Letters Patent.

check valve mechanism which. is attached to the outer cylinder wall,

feeding theffuel through each fuel feeding device, means for governing the ,fuel supply and the air supply; The invention maybe further briefly sums marized as oonsisting in the constru nion and combination of al-ts hereinafter set forth in the following descripton, drawings and claims. 4 Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a portion of a multiple cylinder engine provided with m device; Fig. 2 is -a top plan view of one o the compres- 'sorswith, portions broken away Fig. is a side elevation with portions broken away;

v Fig. is a sectional view thitough the two port of the valve, the cylinder supply port compressors; Fig. 5 is a detail sectional view In carrying out the invention any preferred form and construction of parts may-- be employed so long as they possess the necessary characteristics, hut-I have shown. one arrangement which is effective, and lilSllGll embodiment, 1 represents the crank case of amultiple cylinder engine having mounted thereon suitable cylinders 2. These cylinders are provided with any suitable exhaust and main air inlet valve mechanism, not shown, but cornnion'in devices of this sort. This engine is'provided withfa suitable crank shaft 3, shown in Fig. 'l, and this Patented-Mar. 191 2 implication filed January 11, 1915, Serial'llfo. 1,537. 7

crank shaft extends out beyond the rig-hthand end of the engine for a yuggpose" tote described. 'lhe foregoing mechanism may be of any preferred construction, but is of a type such that oil may be used therein for fuel. 4

Each of the cylinders is provided witha primary air and fuel mixing valve struoture,

' and each of these structures consists of acasr' ing 5 having centrally disposed opening 6 reduced at 7 to form aguide, enlarged at 5'3 to fonn' a iningling chamber,and again enof the .fuel pump mechanism; A ig. 6 is a sectional- View of the primary fue, and air feeding'valve mechanism; Fig. 7 isa sectionalview of the relief valve; Fig B is a detail view of the butterfly valve arnangeinent for controlling the supply of air; to the compressors; Fig. 9 is a side elevation of a portion of a multiple cylinder engineprovided with air starting valve mechanism, this mechanism being omitted from Fig; l for the purpose of clearness; Fig. 1.0 is a front elevation of the distributing valve 1necha ,nisn with parts broken away; Fig. 11 is, a side sectional view through the distributing and the main supply port lead; to the distributing valve mechanism, t sea tions being manipulated for purpose or clearness in illustration, it being impossible to take any crosssection which would one; i show the ports in their proper relationship; and Fig. 12 is a sectional View of the inlet larged and descrloed. Communicating with the open ing 6 is an air inlet port 10 supplied withfair' under pressure by the mechanism later set forth, and further with a longitudinally die .dedn-t 9, for a purpose to be posed fuel supply port 11 connected to a supply port 19.- whinh leads. to the fuel. feeding r neohanisrn, which will also be described. ihe portill communicates by a transverse port 13 with the singling chamber 8. Mount ed in the inlnghng chamber is a mingling block 14 which fitsthe chgtniber and is provlded with an opening forming a continuation of the opening 6, and diagonally disposed ports 16 eominunicating with an annularly disposed port}? formed'in thelperiph ery or the mingling block and communicating, with the port 13. This mingling block fits into and is held in ,place by the threaded shank 18 of a plug 19 strewed into the enlarge-cl opening 9, and this plug receives the tion of the mingling block M and rovided with a mixing chamber 20. Ar- Mged in this mixing chamber is a plurality of mixing cups having bottom flanges 21. provided with openings 22, and annular 23. These cupsinthe mixing 'ehsinlower 1001- her are in place hythe lower i moss iv jacket member 8?, the pipes 85 passing from the several cylinders and throughtliis jacket in my suitable manner.; Each of the pipes 85 is provided with a relief valve mechanism comprising a relief valve casing 87 having a through opening 88 thercin,'and aleteral extension 89 provided internally with e valve'seat' 90, in the'passa'ge through this lateral. connection.

Cooperating with this valve seat is a relief valve 91 liaviu stem 7 92 passin through a suitable stuiiiug box 93. A suitable nut 94 serves to hold this stufling box under the proper pressure. Sew cured to this cut 94 is e pair of arms 95 carrying an internally threaded ring 98 for iceivin'g a thrust nut 97 adapted to engage .u'spring 98 arranged to bear. against e flange Q9 formed integral with the valve stem 92,

7 the arrangement being such that the valve is jorced downward u on its sect bytlie spring.

1t isalso obvious t at this ressure me he varied by adjustiugthe nut 97. illieponnee tion 89 is connected to a pipe 100 which leads t q pn air bottle 101 on any other suitable contamer for compressed air. One of the pipes I 8 5.leads to each cylinder fuel feeding: device ql fdiis connected to the valve mechanism and en ilies air to the port of the feeding I 1 outing witli cylinder supply plpes 126. There va vemcchanism of the cylinder.

This. governor collar is also provided with another annular groove 114 which receives the end .of thelever -and also receives one arm of alever 115 which is pivoted at 116 end has con-- uected to its other arm. a. rod 117 leading to a bell crank lever 118 secured-to the frame. 39

This lever 118 has its remaining arm connected by a. rod 119 with an arm of the bell crank lever 51.; From this governor arrange.
